An anti-siphon kit allows installation of washers to low standpipes and to floor drains. It prevents the siphoning of water from the washer to the drain, not water back into the washer. Correct?
Hello Alan, Thank you for your inquiry. It connects the external drain hose to the internal drain hose, and prevents dirty drain water from siphoning back into the washer. Hope this helps!

We are installing our washing machine with a drain going through the upstairs floor to a drain in the basement. Where do we install this part, above the floor behind the washing machine, or below the floor before the line is entered into the sewer line. This is a “rural” installation.
For model number Maytag MVW6230HC3
Hello Phyllis, thank you for reaching out to PartSelect. The compatible siphon kit for your model is part number PS334490. This part will be installed at the back of your machine to connect the external drain hose to the internal drain hose and prevent dirty drain water from siphoning back into the washer. Glad to be of assistance!
